    As Charles Adams indicated this is very possible...I don't agree,
    however, that it can't be interactive.  Granted that such
    interaction is more delayed because of the nature of the interface,
    but still users can fill out the form of what they want to say, send
    it off, and then a few moments later read how others might have
    responded...it is then much like
    Web chat rooms.  On VWCMoo (Virtual Writing Center) we have developed
    a WOO chat room where users who aren't that familar with MOOing can
    come in, ask questions etc.  Mostly we have used this room to help
    people who are MOO illiterate to get comfortable.  All in all, while
    most of the users prefer the MOO, there are a few die hard web chatters too...
